Knight of the rising sun

[Neoxxz]

This build was designed as a self-sustaining endgame tank and single target debuffer/DPS capitalizing on the synergies between:

• Shield of Condemnation and Rebuke Foe
• Just Rewards/Halcyon Boots and cheap light/healing spells/SLAs
• Stacking defensive auras (PDK + Aura of Good)
• PDK Shield Deflection racial and S&B builds
• Paladin class and US Destiny
• CHA stat and Paladin/FVS
